"Okay. So let's look at what we know and don't know." said MJ, "We know that Gabriel and Sarah are Gwen's children but not yours, that Norman Osborn fathered them, that they're aging prematurely due to the Goblin serum having been in Norman's system."

"Check." said Peter.

"That they think you're their father and the man who killed their mother, so they want to kill you."

"Check."

"And that unless you can help them, they'll keep aging at an advanced rate until they die of old age."

"Check. So what don't we know?"

"What the hell we're going to do about it. I mean, we can't contact them, and if we wait until they come to you, it'll probably be to kill you or someone close to you. So what do we do next?"

"I have an idea."

Later that day, the news media was abuzz with talk the press conference Spider-Man is holding in a few minutes.

"Ray," said an anchor on the local news, "has Spider-Man ever held a press conference before?" The shot cuts to a man in an office going through a drawer of archives.

"Once," he said, "to reach out to Eddie Brock, formerly known as Venom. Back to you, Ben." Cut back to the news room.

"Thank you, Ray." said the anchorman, "We now take you live to the steps of the Daily Bugle where Spider-Man is about to start the conference."

Over at the Daily Bugle, Spider-Man was bombarded with questions about why he's holding the press conference. To say it was tumultuous would be an understatement.

"Would everyone please calm down for a second?!" said Spider-Man, and silence fell over the crowd, "Thank you. Anyway, I just need to send a public message to two people, and it's really important. Gabriel and Sarah Stacy," the shot cuts to the press conference being watched on Gabriel's smartphone, "I need to talk to you, personally. I need you to meet me at... At the last place I saw your mother alive, atop the George Washington Bridge."

"Should we go?" said Gabriel.

"It seems whatever he needs to tell us, it's really important." said Sarah.

"It could be a trap." said Gabriel.

"It's a chance we have to take."

"Fine, we'll go." They left.
